Also, as I just observed:

```
> kwrapper5 /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kwrite.app/Contents/MacOS/kwrite
kdeinit5_wrapper: Warning: connect($TMPDIR/runtime-bertin/kdeinit5__0) failed: : No such file or directory
```

and indeed

```
ll $TMPDIR/runtime-bertin
total 0
12599156 0 drwx------ 18 bertin bertin  612 Nov 24 23:28 ./
12579109 0 drwx------ 43 bertin bertin 1462 Nov 24 23:31 ../
12607229 0 srw-------  1 bertin bertin    0 Nov 24 23:28 kdeinit5_=
12607231 0 srwxr-xr-x  1 bertin bertin    0 Nov 24 23:28 klauncherL21424.1.slave-socket=
```

So there appears to be some internal confusion over how the kdeinit socket is supposed to be called on systems that don't use `DISPLAY`

This patch, originally by *sharky at macports.org* and *snc at macports.org* rearranges call order and uses a proxy application to do the actual exec.

This is probably acceptable for typical KF5 use on OS X (kded5 can be launched as a login item or as a LaunchAgent) but I will have another look at why the kded isn't started.

Thus, klauncher will not be able to "turn itself into" an application that does have a full GUI presence with my current modification. I don't know if that's supposed to be possible though.
